We have three at home already

No clue! Just a feeling I got that day that I should take a look. 🤷

You just have to be patient, I guess...

Black cat sitting next to the headrest of the rear seat of a vehicle.

I randomly opened my hood one winter day and found a kitten sitting on my engine. Took about 30 minutes of chasing him around the parking lot, but got him into my car (it was cold out) and dropped off at the SPCA.

You can't save women's sports by banning trans women. If conservatives are successful in banning trans athletes from women's & girls' sports, they will go right back to cutting funding, like they were before they made trans athletes a wedge issue to split off support from the left for trans people.

This is a screengrab of a video I made in 2015 showing a few of my NaNoWriMo posters on a wall in my classroom.

I miss the annual NaNoWriMo posters - great art from fantastic artists... I bought one every year, but I've had only the 2023 one up on my wall for a while now... 😢

Pretty ballsy of Scheer to talk about accepting election results when his leader lost his riding, then kicked out the elected official in the safest riding in Canada just so he could have a seat.

This is the kind of thing you expect to see on Stormfront, not a company.

My parents used to do something like this and we'd have butcher-paper wrapped packages in the freezer for months until they slowly disappeared.

Your pulled pork looks amazing!

The New Yorker, "Wondering why people are pining for old technologies - CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What's behind our longing for inconvenience?"

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

Um, I've got questions... What could God possibly be thinking???

you ever notice how media uses this weird framing when talking about men and boys?

it's always, "hmm, women are doing better according to this specific metric. how do we help men get back on top?"

How do you translate TACO? International news outlets want to know:

The Shoppers Drug Mart app grows ever more bloated and cumbersome. I just want to refill my prescriptions. I don't want reminders to walk everyday or drink water. Simplify this nonsense, please!

Ah, okay - thanks!

"we need kids to get an early start operating machines that are routinely wrong and may try to coax them into suicide and/or psychosis" is a fun education perspective i disagree with actually

Is this US-only? I use Adobe in Canada, but haven't seen this email.

That sucks. The only cans I have that are comfortable for long wear are wired Sony editing ones, so I understand the search...

I don't know how noisy your workplace is, but have you tried bone conduction headphones? I have the older Shokz, and they're pretty comfortable because they go behind the head, rather than over. We have three pairs in our house now because everyone likes them.

Today, Christians across Canada celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We are reminded that compassion is stronger than hate, that light follows darkness, and that hope endures – even in the face of despair.

From my family to yours, have a blessed Easter.

The replies to the op are something else. I speak another language and carry on conversations in French in front of English speaking coworkers all the time. The number of times that the conversation is about that coworker is zero.

Rightwing dudes: "Women shouldn't be in leadership. Women shouldn't vote. They're not rational like men."

Also, somehow, rightwing dudes: "The hand of God teleported me to a Waffle House."

Cloud Atlas?

The only problem I have with first person narration is, except in extremely limited cases, you know the character survives all the events of the plot. Other than that, I don't care.
Even second person, which pretty explicitly puts you in the story, can be done well, like Leckie's The Raven Tower.

2012 Tom Toro cartoon for the New Yorker with a man in a business suit and three children sitting around a fire in a cave. The man says, "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."

This, all day, every day.
